Spring Fever is starting

I am beginning to see signs of spring fever. Seed catalogs are coming, soil samples are arriving in our office and food preservation classes are requested.

Whether you need to brush up on food preservation methods or are new to the idea, we have a class for you. Karen Blakeslee, MS, Rapid Response Center Coordinator, will provide classes at the following locations.

Join the hands on workshops to learn about pressure canning, water bath canning, dehydration, and freezing your food harvest.

Other classes that are available are "Eating Well, Cooking Less" that will be provided by K State Research and Extension, Harvey County. The class will take place at the Harvey County Health Department, 316 N Oak Street, Newton, on Friday mornings 10:00 to 11:00, February 22, March 1, March 8 and March 15. Registration is appreciated by February 20 by calling Harvey County Extension 316-284-6930 or the Harvey County Health Department, 316-283-1637
